"He said he was building something, that it was just for me. That it was all for me." El explained. 

"Building something... Is he talking about the flayed?" Indiana asks. 

"He must be." Nancy agrees.

"So, he's building an army, just like we thought." Lucas pases back and forth.

"Yeah, but he's not building this army to spread." Mike stands up.

"He's building it to stop Eleven." Will states.

"Last year, El closed the gate on him. I have a feeling that really pissed him off." 

 "Like, royally." Lucas nods.

"And the Mind Flayer now knows that she's the only thing that can stop him. But if she's out of the way..." Mike looks at her.

"Then game over." Indiana huffs.

"He also said he was gonna kill all of you." El adds.

Indiana crienges, "That's nice.".

A large bang was heard from outside. It was fourth of July so the town was setting off fireworks but this was louder. Another one could be heard but closer.

"Do you guys hear that?" Nancy looks out of the window. Another bang gets closer.

"Fireworks?"

"Billy... When he told you this, it was here, in this room?" Nancy asks. Indiana stands up as her stomach drops. El nods slowly.

Nancy and Indiana share a look of horror.

Another bang could be heard closer. 

"He knows we're here." Will states as he touches the back of his neck.

Indiana swallows feeling bile rise in her throat. They all run outside to the road where the banging was coming from. Only the banging was bangs, it was stomps. The same thing that was in the hospital was running towards them. Only it was bigger, like much bigger. It had four legs and looked like the mind flayer only it was physical. Not dust. 

It threw trees down as it crawled towards them. 

It's screeches made then run back inside the cabin. Indiana grabbed two shotguns that were hidden in the shed. She handed one to Nancy and held the other one for herself.

Jonathan grabbed an axe from the back of the shed before the three entered the house again. 

Mike, Lucas, Max and El boarded up the windows. Nancy and Indiana placed the sofa against the front door. 

"Hey, get away from the windows." Nancy told the kids. Indiana and Nancy stood in front and waited.

The glass plates on the dishrack began rattling and the lights started flickering.

"It's close." Will stated only making Indiana's nerves rise.

Dust fell from the ceiling making them look up. The trees outside started falling down as it got closer. A mug from the wall shattered onto the floor.
